Jordan Brand’s Wings initiative, deeply rooted in the ethos of empowerment through education, introduces the Air Jordan 1 Mid “NYC Subway” this season, celebrating the everyday heroes behind New York City’s transit system. This special edition is born from the Jordan Design Program, where students collaborate with top designers to create meaningful sneakers that tell a story.
The Air Jordan 1 Mid Wings “NYC Subway” captures the essence of NYC’s bustling subway lines through its thoughtful design elements. The shoe features a sleek greyscale suede and leather upper, punctuated by black details that echo the subway’s enduring aesthetic.
Distinctive subway map-inspired Nike logos on the tongue and playful “Do not lean on doors” warnings on the lateral collars add a unique city touch, while reflective accents ensure visibility, much like the vibrant life within the subway itself.
Further personalizing the sneaker, the insoles showcase a detailed subway map, and the inner tongue tags carry heartfelt thanks to MTA workers, acknowledging their integral role in keeping the city’s heartbeat strong.
Completing this homage, the sneaker includes a multi-color Jumpman hangtag, resembling subway lines, and is presented in special packaging adorned with Jordan Wings branding and subway motifs, making each pair a tribute to the narratives of New York’s underground lifelines. Expected to launch sometime this summer, so be sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to cop!
